Einleitung

If your Asus F555LA-AB31 will not connect to the network or if you experience intermittent connections, it may be time to replace your network card. Your network card connects your computer to a local area network (LAN) or the internet. If the network card has a faulty hardware component, the operating system might not show it as a connected device. It may also not reliably connect to networks or recognize networks in specific situations; such as when the laptop is hot or during extended use.

Before using this guide, verify the issue is not software related before replacing the network card. Asus provides a support guide to troubleshooting wireless issues in this link.

Electronics are sensitive to ESD. Here is a link for using an anti-static mat and wristband. The laptop must be unplugged before servicing to prevent electrical shock and hardware damage.
